Shoreline Arts Carving Competition

This annual event brings about 30 novice, amateur, semi-professional, and professional carvers to the shoreline of Campbell River for five
days during the last week in June to transform cedar and/or fir logs into works of art. The carvers shape their logs using chainsaws,
mauls, knives, chisels and various custom tools to form their creations. The finished sculptures are then later displayed throughout
Campbell River for everyone to enjoy year round.

Campbell River Bald Eagle Festival

This popular event welcomes birders of all ages to learn more about wildlife. The event has guest speakers, local biologist and birders,
introduction to various birds of prety, animated presentations and taxidermy displays. It is located at the Maritime Heritage Centre near
the Discovery Pier in February each year.

Ocean's Day Festival

This event at the Maritime Heritage Centre welcomes everyone of all ages to help celebrate ocean life as we know it in Campbell River.
The Museum of Campbell River also participates in this event and there is a free shuttle between the two locations. There is a lot of
information sharing and the kids especially enjoy the "touch tanks" where they can meet the creatures of the ocean floor. Other family
activities can include a Bouncerama, face painting, a dunk tank, free fishing at the Discovery Pier, and free admission to the Maritime
Heritage Center. This event offers lots of activities for the whole family to enjoy. This event usually occurs in June.

I just had the best vacation of my life and it all started in Campbell River! What a great little city you have. Everywhere
we went, everyone was friendly and helpful. We went hiking, fishing, kayaking, golfing and shopping. We had a beach fire and
watched the cruise ships go by on our final night. Just a perfect way to wrap things up. We'll definitely be back." -
